Chapter 016: Choice

Linghu Minzhi held Wuji's hand and walked through the crowd, smiling, but the afterglow of his eyes kept falling on Wuji's face, and he didn't pay attention to the shocked expressions of the teenagers on both sides.

This qiΔ“ was all in his expectation, nothing to see, he just wanted to know if Mowgli's reaction would be the same as he expected.

Mowgli didn't react, and there wasn't even a hint of a smile on his face. He didn't even stop when he walked in front of Du Yu.

Ling Hu Minzhi's brows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled again, leading Wuji into the side courtyard.

A sound of surprise rang out behind them, and they were shut out again. Tea had already been set up in the hall in the side courtyard, and Hu Minzhi stretched out his hand to invite. "General Yin is still presiding over the test, let's talk about it first. ”

Mowgli is noncommittal, and sits down in the guest seat. Ling Hu Minzhi rolled up his sleeves and poured two cups of tea.

"Please!"

Wuji smiled: "You are thirsty, you drink." I am not thirsty, I do not drink. ”

Ling Hu Minzhi raised his eyebrows, smiled without saying a word, and looked like he knew everything. He took a sip of tea elegantly, gently rested the teacup on the table, and laughed softly: "I know that for many people, the temple is the most noble existence of the empire, and the major affairs of the country are only worshiped and honored. Tian Academy has also been the first academy of Xianyang Academy. However, for you personally, this is not the best choice. ”

Mowgli was silent.

"I have three reasons. Ling Hu Minzhi stretched out a finger unhurriedly: "First, the people who can become disciples of the Heavenly Academy are all powerful without exception, the imperial family has the so-called seven surnames, thirteen small surnames and thirty-six clans, the disciples of the Heavenly Academy basically do not have seven surnames, and occasionally those with outstanding talents among the thirteen small surnames can be fortunate enough to enroll, as for the thirty-six clan, three hundred years ago, a genius with outstanding genius was once named a disciple, that is, the sage of my Linghu family, Linghu Dayu." ”

"In the past thirty years, there have only been a total of seven disciples above the level of the Heavenly Academy, six of whom are from the surname Ying and one from the surname Meng. ”

Mowgli's brows twitched. The surname Ying is the imperial family of the empire, and the dignity goes without saying, and the surname Meng is also a famous surname in the empire, and for a long time, the surname Meng is the second largest surname after the surname Ying. In this way, the Heavenly Academy is simply the nobility of the nobles. Although he didn't think of entering the Heavenly Academy so high, the dignity of the Heavenly Academy was too outrageous, especially for him, a commoner who didn't even have a surname.

Wuji couldn't help but ask, "What is a disciple of the ascending hall?"

Hu Minzhi was a little surprised, and then smiled with relief. Heavenly Academy is such a noble existence, for a child of a family like him who was born in the Thirty-Six Clan, it is like a cloud, and it is understandable that a country boy does not know the level of his disciples.

"There are seven courtyards in the Xianyang Academy, and the disciples of each academy are divided into six grades, from low to high, respectively, they are named, authored, entered, ascended, entered, and closed. The name and author are the outer disciples, the entry, the hall, and the room are the inner disciples, and the closed disciples are the heirs of the national teachers of each academy, and there is only one person in each generation, who is selected from the disciples who enter the room. ”

"The Heavenly Academy is the cradle of the Imperial Priesthood. According to the ancestral system established by the First Emperor, the priests of the temples of the imperial states could only be served by disciples above the level of ascending to the court, usually referring to the disciples who entered the house, and sometimes they could also be filled by excellent disciples of the ascending halls. Ling Hu Minzhi smiled silently: "The empire now has three hundred and sixty states. ”

Mowgli was surprised. There are three hundred and sixty states in the empire, but there are only seven disciples above the level of the Heavenly Academy, and there will be a big gap in the future.

"How can there be so few disciples in the Heavenly Academy?"

"I just said a reason: the scope of Heavenly Academy's selection of disciples is extremely narrow, and now it's time to say the second reason. Ling Hu Minzhi raised another finger: "The Heavenly Academy has very high requirements for the disciple's life, in layman's terms, that is, the transformation ability is very strong, usually only the dragon, phoenix, turtle and other highly spiritual life, fox, deer and rabbit are not easy, I am a fox life, so three applications to enter the Heavenly Academy were rejected." ”

Mowgli chuckled. If Hu Minzhi's fox life is rejected, then don't count on him, the original person. Heavenly Academy has such high requirements for disciples, no wonder it can't accept suitable disciples. However, it still has nothing to do with him, he just wants to enter the temple system to eat, and he has never expected to enter the Heavenly Academy as a disciple of the Huiden Hall and become a priest of the state-level temple.

Being able to be a priest in the Temple of Crouching Tiger Town would be very satisfying.

Seeing Wuji's indifferent face, Hu Minzhi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he felt that Wuji's reaction was not as sensitive as he expected, and he hadn't heard the meaning of his words yet. He pondered for a moment, "The territory of the empire is tens of thousands of miles, and there are as many as three hundred and sixty states alone, and the number of disciples of the Heavenly Academy is insufficient, so where do so many temple priests come from?"

Linghu Minzhi stopped, stared at Wuji, and smiled without saying a word.

Wuji frowned, he roughly guessed the answer, but he didn't want to say it.

"Either recommended by the garrisons in various places, or simply by the generals in the army. This brings us to the third reason. Linghu Minzhi raised his third finger. "If you accept my JianyΓ¬ and pledge allegiance to General Yin, you can go further than if you directly entered the temple system. ”

Mowgli was silent. After listening to Linghu Minzhi's words, he knew that the temple was beautiful on the outside, but it was actually facing a huge crisis, and in some kind of Cheng dΓΉ, the military had invaded the temple's sphere of influence. There is only one result of this: the military dominates and the temple declines. In other words, if he offends Yin Xuan, even if he becomes a clergyman, he can't guarantee safety.

It has been clear which is better and which is harmful. Ling Hu Minzhi advanced layer by layer, first blocked his hope, and pointed out a bright road to him, as long as he was still a little sensible, he should accept Ling Hu Minzhi's kindness, and be grateful to him.

Even if he didn't accept Linghu Minzhi's invitation, he should be grateful just for the courtesy that Linghu Minzhi had just given him.

However, he was just not reconciled. He doesn't have the ability to shape, even if he enters the army, what can he do, can he be more promising than Zhao Hu? More importantly, Ling Hu Minzhi is in the camp step by step, which makes him very uncomfortable. He doesn't like the feeling of being at the mercy of people, especially this feeling of playing cat and mouse, and he is a mouse. He always felt that it was a bait, which looked sweet, but there was a deadly hook hidden in it, and it was easy to swallow, but it was difficult to spit it out.

Mowgli quickly made his judgment. He would rather be a fugitive than be prey.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, I am not interested in the army. Wuji stood up, bowed his hand, and walked away.

Linghu Minzhi was stunned, watching Wuji's back disappear outside the door, he shook his head and laughed silently.

"Interesting, it's interesting. ”
